That was an excellent video! I am trying to lay a rock garden but have some old bricks all around my home that I want to repurpose as the Border. Would love to see how you lay a different type of border around a rock garden. I was wondering if I should put the fabric liner under the brick as well to keep grass and weeds from growing in between or just put sand beneath the stone and then come in behind it with my fabric liner

Great video! For a small driveway with a gravel, should i use a landscape fabric? And if yes, what type is better? I'm trying to separate my neighbors grass lawn with a nice looking edged gravel landscape. Also should the fabric have holes for water to drain?

Been doing lawn care almost 9 years. Started getting into landscaping. Just picked up my very first rock bed and it's about 2,000 sq ft. These people got money, but my job estimate is like $20,000.

It's sad to see so many contradictions and criticisms of certain contractors in the industry. I wish all would be confident and efficient in their work. The mobile mom-and-pop businesses leave room for doubt. A one-one, proficient presenter on KZread is insufficient for the public expanse to be satisfied.

If rocks are going to cover the fabric, why use pins?
@scomoore1951

To secure the fabric to the edges, for one. For another, the rock may shift with traffic, etc. So, the fabric may rip. I imagine there are other reasons.

Fasteners keep that fabric in place. I once thought the same thing ..I'm using ricks, I don't need fasteners, I was wrong, the fabric moves. I now have to re work the area as I have weeds in areas where the fabric moved along side the wall.

I've done that one Saturday morning....and afternoon. If your fabric was put down right, all you need to do is move the rocks to the middle or end of the fabric and remove your fasteners. Depending on the quality and strength of your cover, you and someone else may be able to lift it up and dispose of it. If your fabric is one piece, you may have to cut the section you piled the rocks on. That's the easy way. Otherwise, you have to shovel those lil boogers up, put them in a trash container. Then take the weed cover up. Lots of work.

Surely you do know the rain water will just find it's way through to the cardboard and it will turn to mulch in a couple of weeks, and before you know it Mr weed head will soon be coming out of ibination and popping his head out, just don't get it to be fair, maybe if you used selatape to tape box's together that would help, lol NOT

No, do not use landscape fabric. Weeds, especially Bermuda grass will grow right through the fabric. Use solid agricultural plastic. You will waste a lot of money and have a horrible rock bed with many, many weeds. This landscaper like many doesn't care about care and upkeep. They just care about the money they will make putting down the fabric. It is going to cost me a lot more money to have the worthless landscape fabric replaced with agricultural plastic.

Plastic does not allow water to drain through. How well your weed fabric works is based in a number of factors including weeve and thickeness.

You're not installing the fabric right if weeds are growing through it, and you didn't prep the bed properly, and possibly didn't install a proper depth of rock, and possibly didn't treat the rock bed with preemergent to prevent weeds that grow on top of the fabric.
